How to Stay Balanced Over the Holidays
By Teo & Fanni
Are you stressed about losing your progress over the holiday season? Don’t worry! Our founder, Teo, and nutritionist, Fanni, have compiled some simple yet effective tips to keep you healthy, balanced, and happy during this festive time.
1. Slow Down and Savor the Moment
The holidays are not just about food, but sharing meals with loved ones is a big part of the celebration. Use this time to be fully present. Slow down and savour every bite of your meal. By doing this, you’ll enjoy the flavours more, aid your digestion, and be more in tune with when you’re full.
2. Move in Any Way You Can
You're not going to be able to stick to your regular workout routine, and that’s okay! Any movement is good movement. We’ve put together a home workout to keep you active, and don’t forget your ATTIKA Mobility Warm-Up. This warm-up is a great way to get all your joints and muscles moving as they should.
3. Start the Day with a Nutritious Breakfast
Kickstart your mornings with a healthy breakfast packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. This will provide essential nutrients, keep you full, and give you sustained energy throughout the morning so you can indulge later without overdoing it.
4. Stick to One Healthy Habit
Maintain at least one healthy habit that’s important to you. Whether it’s drinking a big glass of water, going for a walk, or reading for 30 minutes, sticking to this habit will give you a sense of accomplishment and keep you grounded.
5. Avoid Mindless Snacking
Resist the temptation to snack on little nibbles and sweet treats throughout the day. This will not only improve your digestion but also allow you to fully enjoy the big meals you’ve been looking forward to.
6. Take Time for Yourself
Carve out some moments of peace for yourself to slow down and reflect. This could be as simple as taking a few deep breaths before you get up in the morning or practicing mindfulness in the shower. These small pauses can make a big difference in managing holiday stress.
7. Make Veggies Fun and Delicious
Help slow down blood sugar spikes by preparing veggie starters for the family. Make them exciting with delicious sauces and spices. You’ll be surprised how easily you can sneak some healthful habits into your celebrations!
Final Thoughts
The holidays are a time to celebrate and connect with loved ones, so don’t stress about perfection. Focus on balance, mindfulness, and enjoying the moment. With these tips, you can stay on track with your health goals while still indulging in the festive spirit.
